Designated Cannabis Consumption Areas – All Locations What We Heard Report October 2018 Designated Cannabis Consumption Areas – All Locations What We Heard Report October 2018 Project overview Cannabis will be legal in Canada on October 17, 2018. In Calgary, public consumption rules for cannabis will be similar to those for public consumption of alcohol. Under the Cannabis Consumption Bylaw, it will be illegal to consume cannabis in any form (smoking, vaping, or edibles) in public places, except for designated cannabis consumption areas. Cannabis may be consumed on private property. Because landlord and tenant agreements, condo bylaws, and hotel rules can prohibit cannabis consumption in or on their properties, some citizens and visitors to Calgary may not have a legal place to consume cannabis. To that end, the Cannabis Consumption Bylaw allows Council to approve designated areas where cannabis may be smoked, vaped, or otherwise consumed in specific public places. These designated cannabis consumption areas are intended to help alleviate lack of access to a permissible place to consume cannabis once it is legal. Ward Councillors or residents can begin the process to have designated cannabis consumption areas in their community. Interest was expressed in piloting some designated spaces in Ward 9, in the following locations: 1. Bridgeland: Murdoch Park, on the southern end of 7A St. N.E. 2. Inglewood I: Green space at 11 Ave. S.E., between 11th and 12th St 3. Inglewood II: Green space adjacent to Wildlands parking lot on Ninth Ave. S.E. past 22nd St. 4. Ogden: Green space located north of shopping plaza at Glenmore Tr. and Ogden Rd S.E. Potential areas are carefully considered through criteria addressing the location’s accessibility, safety, and proximity to sensitive land uses such as schools, playgrounds, and residences. Each area will be confined to a defined radius and equipped with waste receptacles and tamper-proof ashtrays. Once the spaces are up and running, the City of Calgary may suspend locations should there be safety or nuisance concerns. 1/263 Designated Cannabis Consumption Areas – All Locations What We Heard Report October 2018 Engagement overview Feedback on the proposed Designated Cannabis Consumption Areas was collected by two means: • In-person: Sounding boards were set up at each of the proposed locations and included an overview of the project and proposed area, feedback forms and a submission box for completed feedback forms. • Online: There was a main landing page on The City’s Engage Portal for the project, as well as individual pages for each of the communities where the areas were proposed, which included the same questions as the in-person feedback forms. Both online in-person engagement opportunities were open from August 27 to September 7, 2018. Sounding boards were located at all proposed areas during this time except for Inglewood, where the sounding board was located at the 11 Avenue S.E. location from August 27 to September 2, and at the Wildlands parking lot location from September 3 to 7, 2018. What We Asked Stakeholders were asked the following questions regarding each of the proposed Designated Cannabis Consumption Areas: 1. How would this consumption area be of benefit to you? 2. Are there any issues we should consider with this proposed location? 3. Do you have any other questions or comments regarding the proposed location? On the Engage Portal pages, we also asked for the first three digits of the respondents’ postal codes, to better understand which of the responses came from community residents, and which came from residents in other parts of the city. What We Heard The issue most often expressed by respondents was the potential of increased crime resulting from designated cannabis consumption areas. Respondents were concerned that public safety near designated areas may be at risk and said that security monitoring would be important to maintain a feeling of safety for community residents. Residual litter would be dangerous if left unmonitored. Another concern voiced by many respondents was that designated cannabis consumption areas may negatively impact family-oriented communities, particularly those where children would likely be nearby. For all four proposed areas, respondents said that proximity to public infrastructure such as schools, playgrounds, churches and pathways were problematic, particularly in Bridgeland. Many respondents thought that the proposed Wildlands area in Inglewood was too close to the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary and 2/263 Designated Cannabis Consumption Areas – All Locations What We Heard Report October 2018 community residences. Concerns of isolated location and pre-existing illegal encampments were also high on the list. Other issues expressed were exposure to second hand smoke, allergies, and asthma. Respondents were generally not comfortable with the concentration of all four proposed designated cannabis areas in Ward 9 and wanted to know why those areas were selected. Some wanted more information on site selection criteria and felt inadequately consulted. Some respondents suggested that cannabis should have the same public consumption regulations as tobacco, while others believe that rules for public consumption of cannabis should be the same as liquor. Respondents indicated cannabis should be consumed at home or in establishments like bars or lounges (*note: The City of Calgary does not have the ability to provide cannabis bars or lounges as such establishments would contravene the provincial Tobacco and Smoking Reduction Act. If cannabis cafes or lounges are allowed in the future, this would be a provincial decision). Other issues expressed by respondents included increased potential for fires and concern whether the areas would be properly maintained. Many also indicated that the areas could increase the potential of cannabis-impaired driving for those who may have to drive to get to the area. They also commented that any designated cannabis consumption areas should be privately funded and not supported by taxpayer dollars. We also received feedback from respondents who are in favour of the designated areas. Some respondents live in condos or rental units and would appreciate a nearby location at which they could consume cannabis. Respondents in favour said that a convenient designated area close to home would allow them to walk there and not have to drive. 3/263 Designated Cannabis Consumption Areas – All Locations What We Heard Report October 2018 Respondents For or Against Designated Cannabis Consumption Areas 0 493 1116 3257 For Against Not Evident 4/263 Designated Cannabis Consumption Areas – All Locations What We Heard Report October 2018 Concerns Surrounding the Proposed Designated Cannabis Consumption Areas Crime & Safety Children & Families Standardized Regulations Site Selection Proximity to Public Infrastructure Health/Nuisance Concerns Proximity to School Cafes/Lounges Distance Place for me to Consume Stigmatizes Consumers Property Values 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 For a detailed summary of the input that was provided, please see the Summary of Input section. For a verbatim listing of all the input that was provided, please see the Verbatim Responses section. Next steps As a result of the significant percentage of respondents that expressed opposition, the initiating Councillor, Ward 9 Councillor Carra, withdrew the proposal on Sept. 12, 2018. The four proposed designated cannabis consumption areas did not proceed to a Public Hearing of Council where they would have been approved or rejected. Calgary will not have designated cannabis consumption areas upon legalization on Oct. 17, 2018. 5/263 Designated Cannabis Consumption Areas – All Locations What We Heard Report October 2018 Summary of Input – Bridgeland (Murdoch Park, south end of 7A St. N.E.) The following section includes key themes from the feedback collected both in-person and online. Question 1: How would this consumption area be of benefit to you? 802 Comments Theme Detail Children/Families (79) Respondents indicated that Murdoch park is used by families and is a popular play area for children, and the adjacent pathway is frequently used to access the park. Respondents indicated they would avoid that section of the park if the proposed area is approved. Crime & Safety (70) Respondents indicated the proposed area would exacerbate existing illicit drug use and homeless encampment issues in the neighbourhood, and generally decrease safety and security in Bridgeland. Respondents were also concerned that the proposed cannabis consumption area would cause an increase in drug trafficking, vandalism, theft and other crime in Bridgeland, indicating that crime has been getting worse in Bridgeland in recent years. Place for me to consume Some respondents indicated they lived in nearby condos where (36) smoking of cannabis is prohibited, and that the proposed location would be of benefit to them. In addition, respondents appreciated the proximity of the proposed area to shops and restaurants. Health Concerns / Nuisance Respondents were concerned about the potential for second hand (smoke and smell) (35) smoke, the smell of cannabis travelling over long distances, increased noise and smoke exacerbating allergies and conditions such as asthma. Proximity to Public Respondents were concerned that the proposed location was too Infrastructure (27) close to the playground in Murdoch Park, and indicated that people walk past the proposed area with their children to go to the park to play. (19) Other concerns were the proximity to pathway (6) negatively impacting

  • Cannabis (Sub)Culture, the Subcultural Repository, and Networked Mediation
    SIMULATED SESSIONS: CANNABIS (SUB)CULTURE, THE SUBCULTURAL REPOSITORY, AND NETWORKED MEDIATION Nathan J. Micinski A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2014 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Rob Sloane © 2014 Nathan Micinski All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor Subcultural theory is traditionally rooted in notions of social deviance or resistance. The criteria for determining who or what qualifies as subcultures, and the most effective ways to study them, are based on these assumptions. This project seeks to address these traditional modes of studying subcultures and discover ways in which their modification may lead to new understandings and ways of studying subcultures in the contemporary moment. This will be done by suggesting a change in the criteria of examining subcultures from that of deviance or resistance to identification with a collection of images, symbols, rituals, and narratives. The importance of this distinction is the ability to utilize the insights that studying subcultures can offer while avoiding the faults inherent in speaking for or at a subculture rather than with or from it. Beyond addressing theoretical concerns, this thesis aims to apply notions of subcultural theory to study the online community of Reddit, in particular, a subset known as r/trees–a virtual repository for those images, symbols, rituals, and narratives of cannabis subculture. R/trees illustrates the life and vibrancy of a unique subcultural entity, which to this point has evaded a cultural studies analysis. To that end, this project advocates for the importance of the cultural studies approach to analyzing cannabis subculture and further, to insert the findings of this study into that gap in the literature.

  • Cannabis Ordinance Revisions; Amending Berkeley Municipal Code Chapters 12.21, 12.22, 20.40, 23C.25, and Sub-Titles 23E and 23F
    Page 1 of 99 Office of the City Manager PUBLIC HEARING January 28, 2020 To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager Submitted by: Timothy Burroughs, Director, Planning and Development Department Subject: Cannabis Ordinance Revisions; Amending Berkeley Municipal Code Chapters 12.21, 12.22, 20.40, 23C.25, and Sub-Titles 23E and 23F RECOMMENDATION Conduct a public hearing and upon conclusion, provide direction regarding proposed ordinance language alternatives and take the following action: Adopt the first reading of five ordinances to amend the Berkeley Municipal Code (BMC) Chapters 12.21, 12.22, 20.40, 23C.25, and Sub-Titles 23E and 23F which would: A. Allow new business types (Delivery-Only Retailers, Consumption Lounges); B. Allow Retailers to continue to operate as Microbusinesses; C. Clarify cannabis business operational standards and development standards, such as quotas and buffers, for Storefront Retailers; D. Allow more opportunities for Commercial Cultivation by expanding location options; and E. Protect the health of the general public and youth with additional advertising, signage and sales regulations. SUMMARY The proposed cannabis ordinances would revise definitions and establish operating standards for new and existing cannabis businesses in Berkeley, and include new regulations based on commission recommendations, Council direction, and Resolution 68,326-N.S., which established Berkeley as a sanctuary city for recreational cannabis use. The new ordinances would fully address new uses (Delivery-Only Retailers, Consumption Lounges and Retail Storefront Microbusinesses1), and modify development standards and signage requirements for existing uses. The proposed ordinances were reviewed by the Cannabis Commission (CC) and the Community Health Commission (CHC).

  • Blunts and Blowt Jes: Cannabis Use Practices in Two Cultural Settings
    Free Inquiry In Creative Sociology Volume 31 No. 1 May 2003 3 BLUNTS AND BLOWTJES: CANNABIS USE PRACTICES IN TWO CULTURAL SETTINGS AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS FOR SECONDARY PREVENTION Stephen J. Sifaneck, Institute for Special Populations Research, National Development & Research Institutes, Inc. Charles D. Kaplan, Limburg University, Maastricht, The Netherlands. Eloise Dunlap, Institute for Special Populations Research, NDRI. and Bruce D. Johnson, Institute for Special Populations Research, NDRI. ABSTRACT Thi s paper explores two modes of cannabis preparati on and smoking whic h have manifested within the dru g subcultures of th e United States and the Netherlan ds. Smoking "blunts," or hollowed out cigar wrappers fill ed wi th marijuana, is a phenomenon whi ch fi rst emerged in New York Ci ty in the mid 1980s, and has since spread throughout th e United States. A "bl owtj e," (pronounced "blowt-cha") a modern Dutch style j oint whi ch is mixed with tobacco and in cludes a card-board fi lte r and a longer rolling paper, has become th e standard mode of cannabis smoking in the Netherl ands as well as much of Europe. Both are consid ered newer than the more traditi onal practi ces of preparin g and smoking cannabis, including the traditional fi lter-less style joint, the pot pipe, an d the bong or water pipe. These newer styles of preparati on and smoking have implications for secondary preventi on efforts wi th ac tive youn g cannabis users. On a social and ritualistic level th ese practices serve as a means of self-regulating cannabi s use.

  • Cannabis and Cannabinoids for Medical, Scientific and “Recreational” Use: Risks and Benefits
    Chapter I. Cannabis and cannabinoids for medical, scientific and “recreational” use: risks and benefits 1. The Governments of several States have passed drug control treaties, resulting in the diversion of legislation allowing patients suffering from certain health cannabis to non-medical use. In several countries, poorly conditions (such as terminal cancer, epilepsy and neuro- regulated medical cannabis programmes and the associated logical illnesses) to use cannabinoids and cannabis to treat lower perception of risk may have contributed to the the symptoms of their illnesses (see box 1 for definitions legalization of non-medical cannabis use, contrary to the of key terms). Some medical cannabis programmes have international drug control treaties (see para. 5 and sections had an adverse impact on public health because they have H–K below). not been effectively regulated in line with the international Box 1. Some key terms 1. “Cannabis and its derivatives” describes all products derived from the cannabis plant. Cannabis plant prod- ucts include the flowering tops (marijuana), compressed cannabis resin (hashish), cannabis oils, concentrated cannabis extracts (waxes) and edible preparations (e.g., infusions, cookies and chocolates). 2. Cannabinoids are substances found only in the cannabis plant. There are estimated to be 104 unique, nat- urally occurring cannabinoids but the 2 that have been most extensively studied are THC and CBD: • THC produces the psychoactive effects, such as euphoria, relaxation and heightened sensory experi- ences, sought by “recreational” users • CBD has few psychoactive effects. It may moderate the psychoactive effects of THC and has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects 3. Synthetic cannabinoids are substances produced in the laboratory that have similar effects to THC or other cannabinoids (e.g., nabilone).

  • Pulmonary Complications of Smoked Substance Abuse
    I. 5525 Addiction Medicine IL and the Primary Care Physician Pulmonary Complications of Smoked Substance Abuse DONALD P TASHKIN, MD, Los Angeles After tobacco, marijuana is the most widely smoked substance in our society. Studies conducted within the past 15 years in animals, isolated tissues, and humans indicate that marijuana smoke can injure the lungs. Habitual smoking of marijuana has been shown to be associated with chronic respiratory tract symptoms, an increased frequency of acute bronchitic episodes, extensive tracheobronchial epithelial disease, and abnormalities in the structure and function ofalveolar macrophages, key cells in the lungs' immune defense system. In addition, the available evidence strongly suggests that regularly smoking marijuana may predispose to the development of cancer of the respiratory tract. "Crack" smoking has become increasingly prevalent in our society, especially among habitual smokers of marijuana. New evidence is emerging implicating smoked cocaine as a cause of acute respiratory tract symptoms, lung dysfunction, and, in some cases, serious, life-threatening acute lung injury. A strong physician message to users of marijuana, cocaine, or both concerning the harmful effects of these smoked substances on the lungs and other organs may persuade some of them, especially those with drug-related respiratory complications, to quit smoking. (Tashkin DP: Pulmonary complications of smoked substance abuse, In Addiction Medicine [Special Issue]. West J Med 1990 May; 152:525-530) Humans smoke a variety of substances, including to- Marijuana bacco, cannabis (marijuana and hashish), alkaloidal Recent nationwide surveys show a continued decline in cocaine (freebase cocaine or "crack"), phencyclidine marijuana use3'4; nonetheless, marijuana remains one of the (PCP), heroin, opium, and, most recently, methampheta- most widely abused substances in our society.
